PDMS Injection Molding Process

The Injection Molding Advantage

Traditional PDMS chip fabrication relies on manual soft lithography processes that are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and difficult to scale. Our proprietary injection molding technology transforms this process:

Precision Engineering:

Computer-controlled injection systems deliver exact amounts of PDMS with consistent mixing ratios.

Rapid Curing:

Advanced thermal control systems cure PDMS in minutes rather than hours.

Automated Release:

Specialized mold coatings and release mechanisms eliminate manual demolding steps.

Integrated Quality Control:

In-line optical inspection ensures every chip meets exact specifications.

Multi-Material Capability:

Options for embedded components, stiffness gradients, and functional surface modifications.

Our Services

From design optimization to full-scale production, we support your microfluidic chip needs at every stage.

Design Consultation

Our microfluidics experts will review your designs and suggest optimizations for manufacturability while preserving functionality. We provide guidance on channel dimensions, aspect ratios, and surface treatments to ensure your design is production-ready.

Rapid Prototyping

Fast turnaround from CAD files to functional prototypes, allowing iterative improvements and validation testing. We can deliver test chips within days of design approval, accelerating your development cycle.

Small Batch Production

Flexible manufacturing of small quantities (20-1,000 units) for pilot studies, clinical trials, or market testing. Our tooling approach makes small batches economically viable without compromising quality.

Volume Manufacturing

Scalable production capacity for commercial applications (10,000+ units) with consistent quality and competitive pricing. Our automated production lines ensure reliable supply for your growing demands.
